Each node is formatted accordingly to its style. The style describes colors, shape and font of node, edges and clouds and also can add icons to node. Since Freeplane 1.2, you can:

  • 1. change node style quickly through a new formatting panel (use View->Formatting panel to display/hide the panel)
  • 2. change node style by choosing a style among styles list (use the combo "style" in Freeplane's main toolbar)
  • 3. define you own styles through a style editor (use Styles->Edit styles ...).

Originally each node has style "default". It can be assigned another style with solution 1 or 2 described above. If automatic layout is on, the node is assigned the style corresponding to its level.

Style format

Changing the style format automatically changes formatting of all selected nodes with this style. The style format can be changed:

  • using action "Styles->Redefine style" assigning format of the currently selected node to its style,
  • using action "Styles->Edit styles" opening style editing dialog,
  • using action "Styles->copy styles..." which copies styles from any mind map which can be selected in the file selection dialog.
